Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is the only cloud management console for Oracle that allows cloud stakeholders to create rich business services consisting of any combination of infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS) — including database as a service (DBaaS) and middleware as a service (MWaaS) — and software as a service (SaaS).
Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control provides wizard-driven, role-based capabilities for all stakeholders involved in planning, deploying, managing and consuming an enterprise cloud.
Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c supports enterprise architects, cloud administrators, application developers and administrators, DBAs, line of business users and governance and finance personnel. Key capabilities include:

enables cloud administrators to pool together IT resources and define rules, privileges, and policies that govern how resources are consumed; and helps ensure ease of management and quality of service.
allows transparent access to cloud resources for line of business users and application developers. Consumers can use the self-service portal to order services from a central catalog, manage and monitor the requested services, and receive chargeback information.
enables finance personnel, IT managers and service providers to measure usage and charge for services. Several chargeback mechanisms are provided. Pre-built integrations with offer comprehensive billing capabilities.
Unique cloud capabilities deliver industry-first advantages through integrations with two key Oracle products:
